How can you make symbols on your computer like hearts and squigly lines that aren't on the keys?

Character Map Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools

This is the correct answer whether you give me 5 stars, Best Answer or a Gold Star. You must turn on NumLock first. Then use the right hand number pad while holding down the Alt key. If you are using a laptop, look up in the Help file which key for your make/model will turn on NumLock and where your number pad is located. Some use the Fn key and/or Alt keys. See these site for the correct Alt key numbers for the special symbols/characters: http://www.menekali.com/255-windows-alt-codes/ http://www.spike-jamie.com/alt-codes.html http://www.starr.net/is/type/altnum.htm http://www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/ALTchrc.html Have fun! ☮ ☮ ♌ ♥♥Ron♥♥ ♌ ☮ ☮

ok to get hearts and stuff on your computer by only using your keyboard: to get hearts you do alt 3 but it has to be the 3 on the right of your computer to get other things just do alt and the other numbers ♥♫♥

You can find all the symbols for every font by using the Character Map. It will probably be found in Start--> Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools. You can see each character and even copy and paste them into your typing. You can also see some of the keyboard commands so you can enter them without having to use the CharMap. For example ½ is ALT+0189 (hold down ALT then type 0189). There are tons of characters, as you can see by a lot of the creative "names" people use just in Answers.
